#Transformers #EntertainmentEarth
I saw a worst 'Go Bots' list and Almost all of them were happy Meal toys.
I have some additions to the list:
Nemesis Prime for not being Red and Blue.
Optimus Primal because he doesn't turn into a truck.
Hound because he's not a dog.
(Sarcasm)
Get enough tier lists to make a tier list of tier lists.
yesss
Don't give him any ideas.
"Yo, Dawg, I heard you liked tier lists!"
â@@Mike_Duboso I put tier lists on your tier lists
What about a tier list of tier lists of tier lists.
Something else about the Silverbolt entry is that they've called them "Silverbot" at least twice
I came to comment this....
GO GO GOBOTS
This is a pretty understandable typo. It's ultimately the editor's job to fix that.
The Gamer somehow keeps managing to top itself in terms of bad lists no matter the topic.
So, not only does The Gamer's CZcams channel suck but so does their articles.
I have to admit I laughed at "Iron-Hide This In The Toy Box."
Isn't a penguin a predator too? After all, penguins DO eat fish.
Man, them using a custom for the Mainframe entry reminds me of that infamous Transformers "infographic" which used several bits of uncredited fanart, along with getting a lot of alt-modes wrong and other nonsense. Maybe that'd be worth a look-see in the future?
At this point, you not dealing with scalpel is a running gag
Someone is picking on Cosmos? YOU KNOW OF COURSE THIS MEANS WAR!!!
You know heâs getting angry when the mic peaks.
Considering my Scalpel broke from getting him out of the package, and I couldn't canibalize the second one I managed to acquire to make one functional one. I bought him because he was a Decepticon medic, and then Knock Out happened and I lost interest in repairing Scalpel in favor of hoping Knock Out gets a good toy.
Man I'm not holding my breath at this point, poor Knock Out is cursed to never have a good toy.
@@Prankmeister1990 Legacy knockout is a good knockout, but not a good Prime knockout. Its a red jazz with a vaguely knockout looking head. At least the figure itself is good, also the car mode is nice. Its a shame the most accurate version of knockout we have is the RED figure, but even that is a little too grey for my liking.
Nero ... You are forget Hook, the G1 Decepticon medic ... okay, okay ... Surgical Engineer
As someone that actually applied for a writing job on one of these geek news sites, while this list is bad for most of the reasons you said, the job description of working for these sites are so fucking dumb I can say it's the very reason for why it sucks. They expect writers to write around 5 articles per day. They absolutely are draining these people's minds for more articles. It's quantity over quality there
Cosmos isn't even that bad, he's pretty good, his transformation's pretty unique compared to someone like Swerve who just flips out the back to form the legs and pulls out the sides to form the arms... and we STILL like those minibots!!
that wasn't picking low hanging fruit, that was picking vegetables.
"Mainframe would turn into a computer which just isn't fun"
Meanwhile I want the Ark mostly for Mainframe and his ability to transform into a computer.
These articles you can tell if the person behind it is a real transformers fan or not. This writer just looked up bad transformers then pulled images of characters, something more fan like is an opinion piece of what they got over the year or a wave listing. For me a fair list is something the creator has had in hand like Dr lockdown, perspective end, or TJ those guys make list based on figures they messed with before not pulling 20 random figures and calling it a day.
This is a rant but I really hate these articles popping up on my phone when I open up google, especially that octopunch at 9 been looking for that one and the original is good for its age.
TBF, I find a lot of the shit perspectives end complains about it really stupid.
@@AwesomeMooseSmile I remember him complaining about the Siege fan vote being Mirage and Impactor. His reason there wasnât a new Needlenose or Cybertron mode Wheeljack.
Ignoring Impactor was a cult favorite who NEVER got a proper figure. Plus the last Mirage figure was the combiner Wars wasnât that good.
I love how they have the crash combiners on the article even though they weren't listed
The Gamer is not a legitimate website
>Largest and Bravest of the Autobots
Fortress Maximus: "Am I a joke to you?!"
Amazing that they got a photo of Toyworld Sideload (likely due to G1 Wideload only ever having had one toy intended to be him at the time of the toy's release), a toy which would legitimately fit with the notion provided by the article's title, but then of course the section is only about the official HasTak toy.
Honestly, aside from the arms, Movie 1 Deluxe Jazz was one of the more solid toys from that line. Everything was nice and chunky, and there was very little shell or kibble involved. Definitely not screen-accurate, but I will defend it as a quality toy.
TJ: "This is why I don't do gimmick toys on Plastic Addict"
Also TJ: *Does Transformers: Armada on Plastic Addict*
I love the Action Masters and I have Mainframe who is my favorite Action Master so that really got me aggravated to see him on this list. Also, he doesnât transform. How do you make a list about terrible transformations and include a figure that doesnât transform? You canât judge a transformation on something that is just an action figure!!
I'm sure half of the entries were picked just for their names to make terrible puns out of.
That G2 Sizzle wasnât released in the U.S.
You know the rule.
A challenge is a challenge to the internet.
Saying something isn't a challenge makes it a challenge on the internet.
15:30 whoâs going to tell him that âhypotheticalâ computer mode gave us likeâŠthe only transformable figure of Teletraan 1
It's been a few days since, I hope you're ready to look back at our new Sentai as well.
But I came here just to see where everything went wrong with a bad list of bad Transformers. Thanks for the info.
Potential video idea, maybe go over and give your thoughts on other peopleâs âdesign your own transformersâ images. Could be fun and you could get some from your fans
Woot! I kept our streak going, so very proud of myself!
Seriously though, I just wanted to support TJOmega after over a year of enjoying his content and was in a position to start doing so for a while, thank you TJ for the awesome content AND fostering such a fun community.
He is going to diss a Penguin as a combat animal? Tell him to go watch Bat Man Returns.
It has been so long since I've seen one of these videos again! Also loving the new intro dude!
The original Cheetor is a FANTASTIC toy...except for the water gun, but otherwise? Best Beast Wars toy I own.
I think this was written for just the puns
TheGamer is just awful. Absolutely the most bottom of the barrel clickbait-attempting top X listicle sort of content. All of it bad.
Oh and they made a hit pice on Growlithe of all Pokémon!
@@davidtierney7941what did they say about Growlithe?
@@thomashollingshead015 they complain about it being partnered with Officer Jinny in the anime and being owned by rich people and the Officer Trainer classes in the games, all of whom they claim are RaCeSt.
The Gamer's Skyrim articles be like:
After ten year Skyrim player discovers a dragon living on the throat of the world
Honestly i think break would make for a pretty cool modern pretender.
I wonder if when ever they do a new Beast Wars Rampage figure if they'll retool it into an octopunch figure
Well, at least they didn't include the mcdonalds dinosaurs
The last waves of the G1 toy line were frustrating, even though I had outgrown the toys by then. Action Masters had a lot of wasted potential, and definitely would have benefitted from some sort of content to direct the play for kids. Having main characters who didn't transform was one thing, but the toys that did were clunky and went without explanation. Marvel comics touched on it briefly, but the series was cancelled before it went anywhere.
Did you somehow miss the transformable vehicles and weapons they came with? They were going for the GI Joe and TMNT play pattern of loading up vehicles with figures and weapons.
@@Martynde No, I mentioned that. Without a fresh cartoon to draw kids into that approach to the brand, they simply could not compete with Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers.
TJ Is my favorite youtuber.
So in the article he mentions that Cosmos "resembles a certain part of the female anatomy" can someone tell me what this writer was thinkin of because I can't see it.
TJ: This guy is soâŠ
*scrolls down to Armada Sideswipe*
TJ: Maybe I was wrong about him.
Honestly the throttlebots are guilty pleasure figures for me. I love their simplicity and their pullback gimmick.
My takeaway from this is that there's an upcoming "Here's 10 Worst Transformers something", since you're researching "Worst" lists. :D
the second the video's intro ended, the only thing I was waiting on was "why is the Gamer back?!" cause I remembered the last bad Transformers list that was on thsi channel, which was on that site too
The list said G1 Ironhide didnât have legs. I guess they made judgment over that single pic and thought thatâs all it was.
Wish I had these problems instead of ones I already have
Top tier content. Appreciate your honest opinions and knowledge.
Also, they spelt Silverbolt as 'Silverbot'. So, not only are the takes bad, not only are the photos lazy, but they edited it poorly too.
This list makes me roll my eyes at the incompetence on display
I looked up Silverbolt, and the first thing that comes up is the beast wars one. So they went out of their way to find the combiner wars one
It's kinda like watchmojo
10 things you didn't know about megatron
1. he is bad
2. He was originally voiced by Hugo weeving
3. His original alternate mode was a Walter p38, the same gun used by James Bond.
And other things that entry level obvious, inconsistent, or just wrong
4. Megatron has Irritable bowel syndrome
Follow up tho. I mostly wrote about Marvel Comics, but Iâm a huge TF fan and recently found your channel and subbed. I agree with most your takes, except I loved Beast Machines bro! Lol
This seem more like a list complaining about not liking either the character or the alt mode.
14:10 I think it's saying he's creepy because he is made up of 3 separate entities, which I kinda agree with
FWIW, generally headlines aren't written by the person who writes the article, I think.
This is up there with an article using Yuri Tsukikageâs alter-ego(Cure Moonlight) as the season name in terms of stupid
No seriously there is an article on the rise of digisexulality from CNN(dated December 29 2018) named *Beyond dimensions: The man who married a hologram* for those who are curious. The bit that grates me is the following(and I quote):
*Masato Kato, an Osaka-based tarot reader who married Yuri Tsukikage, heroine of the anime series "CuremoonLight" in October, hopes that one day advances in technology will allow them to grow as a couple.*
For those who donât know. The name of the season she appears in is Heartcatch PreCure. I bring this article up as like the one you covered the writer *clearly* has no idea what theyâre talking about
The Octopunch one makes me mad cause I HAVE the 2012 Shattered Glass Octopunch figure!
I liked that Jazz toy!!!! LOL
We need your bad list of bad Transformers lists.
The list is crap but their pun game is pretty on-point.
I'm not a fan of the 80s Ironhide toy, but I can understand the frustrations you have, because they purposely made Ironhide and Ratchet the way they did, and it focused with the Marvel comics. However I think the reason people are threw off about the toy that it didn't look like from the cartoon. You and I know that these toys came out before the cartoon, so your argument is valid and logical.
These tier lists are so lazy. All they do is Google random stuff, briefly read about it on Wikipedia, and write an article about it
i think one the dumbest thing is the metropex one its "too big and bulky" THATS THE PONIT, ITS A TITAN CLASS
If this list had been called the strangest or weirdest or whatever, it probably would have fit better, because most of these aren't *bad* but there certainly a few bizarre ones.
This hack wouldnât be griping about Mainframe if he knew he had a BFG drone (Push-Button) and a big, big friend to punch the crap out of him (Ark/âFloodgateâ.)
I mostly agree with you but I do have the defend the Ironhide entry a little bit. They're using that picture of Movie Ironhide because it's specifically been recolored to look like the G1 character in a color scheme that Ironhide never actually had in the movie. It would be more insulting if they used a version in his screen accurate colors instead but because they used the G1 repaint I'm willing to give that one a bit of a pass. Also I don't think there was a decent modern version of G1 Ironhide 3 years ago so they had to use SOMETHING to represent a modern version.
I will also say... while I agree with your reasoning, disliking the G1 toy because it isn't show accurate is dumb if you're expecting something that was made before the show existed to look like the animation model. But I will also give a little bit of slack there as not everyone enjoys the toys just as toys on their own but only got into it because of the show and for that I can understand why Ironhide gets a lot of hate. Of course that's really more of a personal preference issue rather than the toy itself being bad.
I'm sure Ironhide and Ratchet in the original Diaclone line were actually a lot of fun because they're really meant to interact with the Diaclone pilots which were never released in the Transformers toy line which is another reason I just think the Transformers version is dumb, it loses some of the play value unless you have some spare G.I. Joes laying around to replace those Diaclone pilots they were meant to have. I'm not entirely sure if this is accurate but from what I read online those Diaclone pilots are about the same size and level of articulation as G.I. Joe figures. I've never personally played with either of them so don't quote me on that.
That said it's still really dumb if their complaint is not being accurate to the G1 cartoon and their only example for a decent toy also isn't accurate because it's based on an entirely different animation model. And yeah if the list is suppose to be Transformers with bad transformations there's a bunch of figures that would make far more sense to go on this list than anything actually mentioned here. Even the couple that are actually bad toys I think are on this list for the wrong reasons since the poster couldn't even stick to the original topic.
Like...I'm not all the way through the video yet, but most of these entries aren't even, as the article's title implies, ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATIONS.
EDIT: Okay, so the point i made was addressed in the video. I should wait before commenting
Personally I wouldâve changed the lettering around on your thumbnail, make it âAnother List of Bad Takesâ sounds better imo
It's always fun when you can tell whoever put these things together...clearly just did not care in the slightest.
That being said, "Iron-Hide this toy in the box" got a chuckle out of me. It's dumb but it still made me laugh, so...credit where its due, I guess?
The only other thing I see about this list is the #facepalm puns.
I love thinking that you should do a top 20 worst, and since you do plastic, addict
Pretenders are low-hanging fruit but definitely bad. And I still say G1 Ironhide is a bad toy even in the Diaclone context.
I think color scheme is a big deal. It can make or break a toy in some cases, and people wouldn't buy repaints if it was such a minor thing.
Still, this article was full of errors and silliness, and Cheetor didn't need to be picked on!
The person who wrote this can't even call themself a fan
20 bad transformations....sizzle dont even got transformed and they complain about the color :D great site
I hate mainframe, I can't get past his hypothetical alt mode
How about a Here's 10 of bad Transformers listicles?
These are the same types of idiots who proclaims TFC/Sir Topham to be an oppressive dictator regardless of how the Railway Series and the TV series actually portrays him. Plus spin the Henry dies in the tunnel BS once more.
Actually, they're the kind of people who focused exclusively on the bads of Archie Sonic and the goods of Archie Sonic. Then says that James 'Steven Moffat Jr' Roberts is the best TF writer despite other writers like Simon Furman and Paul Dini existing.
Totally agree with you on this list
A top 10 list of the top 10 worst Transformers lists
Oh, and by the way, if another Patreon member finds another bad list of bad Transformers from TheGamer one more time, maybe you should treat the entire website as a *Plastic Addict victim.*
Very enjoyable video
whoever is doing these article has no concept of why toys were made the way they are or what the gimmick was. to say this list is a bad take is bad take. this list is a travesty of any semblence of a list based on a bad premise. low hanging fruit? more like fruit on the ground
you know what i figured out about this guy. he's disingenuous regarding the premise of the article AND the toys
I'm sorry but I have seen a lot of these "Worst names" "Worst toys" "Transformers who shouldn't exist." If you are that cinical about the hobby you need to stop. You clearly aren't enjoying it anymore.
Look, as much as this list was bad, some things that made you come across as a bit naff:
You should probably say "official product" rather than "real product" with third party stuff. They're also not generally on the main market, so it's not really logical to say they're confusing casuals. Being products you can purchase, they're real, just not official.
The article's mention of Reflector as "creepy" was written specifically in reference to the character, not the toy. Reflector's bio is referenced in how he feels stalker-y and prone to blackmail, making the camera alt mode creepy in the very context of the character himself. It's the next paragraph where they go into the alt mode being dull and weird, but the first bit is speaking on the character.
Which means they havenât read Soundwaveâs bio. His says almost the same thing. They are picking on Reflector probably because they think he isnât popular.
I think this list is likely written by a AI and nobody did much quality control because they need clicks!!
i like the twins there funny
The pictures for this don't even make sense
Lol!
I'm a month behind and I'm only now hearing about TJ streaking. Put some clothes on!
You think they care about context? They just wanted to keep the angry reviewer active, looked up a bunch of pictures, and made a surface view article trashing old stuff.
đđ
this site has to be stopped posting about transformers
Someone would tell you to stop being so negative and just ignore this sort of thing.
_Not me._ These kinds of armchair "experts" are _irritating_ to come across, especially when they intentionally push out misleading/sloppily researched information. I've seen this sort of stuff in other fandoms I'm a part of and it boggles my mind how they're propped up by their user-base for what amounts to a fluff piece where they dip their toe in something and then call it a day/move on to the next thing. You can't *fake* passion. Only a complete layman would miss the absence of _said_ passion in a list of this sort.
Had, still have OG BW Cheetor. Yes, a thick cheetah. Originaly supposed to be Tigatron (white tiger) and "normal" tiger. And what TJOmega sad. KIDS toys ... f .... it. Number 15 and 14 ... G1 Silverbolt and BW or what Silverbolt. Don't get your blood presure too high TJ :D
Okay, just had to rewrite my comment while watching the video. Number 5 ... whats wrong with Cosmos ? Turns into an "Adams" style U.F.O. .... and a doorbell. Tits ... i don't know, green with red nipples ... never saw one like that ... waiting for the last 4. Number 2 ... "gimmick toy" (TM and copyright to TJOmega). And for number 1 .. look up "shellformer" not shelfwarmer, writer. Next time. Thank you for the video and for your reactions TJO. It was fun.
Ye complaining about a UFO not being good. As if they know how a UFO actually is
I can't be the only one who saw the title of this video and thought it was going to be TJ calling all of his Top 10 lists dumb.
Jesus, another amateur makes another "bad" transformers list
Just because we complain about a bad transformer from a sublime, doesn't mean we hate the sublime itself. The shoe transformer is a bad transformer because it was badly done.
